Too many men on field is a penalty that can be called from replay alone, so even if there was no flag there is no problem with calling it that way.

I honestly shake my head at teams inability to go, "See that guy? Get him." There's no excuse for it when Michigan had two TD drives and the number of plays Robinson wasn't responsible for was two of them. For both drives combined.

While I agree with that sentiment, the calls that really irritate me--the PIs--were legit, and the corners and the pass D as a whole need to get their act together. I don't know if Cal's passing game necessarily scares me more than WSU, and Oregon's going to run the heck out of the ball, so it may not matter much there either. But when they play some of the other legit passing attacks on the schedule--essentially the last half of the schedule (ASU, Arizona, OSU, Washington, USC)--they're going to get burned big time unless they find a way to fix those issues.

I believe they have the same rule, too many men is a reviewable call in the NFL too.


EDIT: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playof...ike&id=3181388

Referees also can use replay to assess penalties for 12 men on the field, the illegal touching of a pass, the illegal touching of a kick and passing the ball after crossing the line of scrimmage.

Yes they do. Rex Ryan challenged for a 12 men penalty in the game last Sunday Night.

Oh, I;m not saying they called some of them bad, just that one drive was...odd? First they totally miss on the face masking call then after the play went off, tehy called back the missed XP to say that the buzzer went off. It's not like WSU quick snapped it, there was only like 4 seconds left on the play clock

*phew*

Weird ending for OU/Texas. The Sooners do all they can to keep Texas in it, but a late Longhorns fumble seals it. OU back on the right side of the rivalry. All is good in the world again.

Same thing happening with CS Rocky Mtn (or whatever its called). Noticed because Dish customers were given like two dozen free channels this weekend while Fox Sports South is unavailable due to a rights fee dispute ... which means that UGA-Colorado is unavailable to Dish customers around Atlanta (except for the CS workaround, which didn't work after all) as well as the Braves season finale tomorrow.

Same deal in my part of South Carolina I think.

You can try checking the standard def. ESPN2 channel, here that is showing Stanford-Oregon while ESPN2 HD has USC - Washington.

24-0 'Bama. I would complain about 'Bama always running out of the wildcat, but they finally run it with a WR who has played QB, so they throw it and get the TD.

Wake Forest now warming up their #5 QB. Two injured tonight, their # 2/3 is held out after a concussion last week, now the #4 is banged up.

Oh yeah, Wake leads GT 17-6 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Jackets look like they've moved their inept defensive players to offense tonight, no blocking whatsoever.

Okay, now this is just getting silly.

GT has given up 2 TD's after turnovers, now we muff the punt snap & end up having it partially blocked for a 10 yd punt so it's Wake ball at the GT 36.

LOL, GT & Wake now tied at 17.

edit to add: Nesbit gets a TD pass as two Wake DB's inexplicably get out of position leaving the safety to try to cover 2 receivers at/near the end zone.

Announcer said Florida needs to score at the end of the half and again at the beginning of the 2nd half. I thought in my head, "Yeah, but watch it be two field goals." 'Bama 24-6.

He really might be the most interesting coach in college football, but mostly for negative reasons. Has there ever been a coach under so much legit heat for a top 10 (top 8 after the weekend?) 5-0, 3-0 conf. start?

Miles can be a good, maybe even great, head coach in the right circumstance. But that circumstance has Miles as a recruiter/lockerroom motivator, with two sideline coordinators that can do there own thing and completely run the play calling show. With Crowton being the passive coach's box type OC, we are far from that situation right now.

TOUCHDOWN GEORGIA TECH !

Unfrigginbelievable. Wake was pretty gassed at the end, Nesbitt did that whole "would not be denied" thing, and is :15 seconds from pulling off a shocking comeback by a team that played dead for every bit of three quarters.

Of course, we still have to survive kicking off.

Pick 6 by 'Bama go to up 31-6. Florida gets down to the goal line vastly in part due to 'Bama getting penalties and then Florida for the 2nd time in the game turns the ball over while looking at 7 points. If Florida had a clue what kind of offense they want to run they could actually be decent, but they can't get past running the Tebow offense without Tebow.

Colorado leads UGA 29-27 late Q4 but a sack sends 'em out of field goal range & the Buffs miss a 52 yarder. UGA quickly drives into FG range with about 2 minutes left ... and fumbles it away. Colorado runs out the clock and drops Georgia to 1-4 for the first time since 1993

I hate to see a 'tackle' like the one that knocked out Stanford's Owusu. The Oregon db made no attempt to use anything but his helmet on that play. I don't see any room in the game for that.

Florida still needs to work on center to QB exchange when in the shotgun. Really surprised it this much of an issue at this point. Brantly gets crunched and might be out for awhile.

Well it is a little unexpected for them. I mean, the last time they beat a non-conference BCS team looks like 2008 when they knocked off WVU at home. Before that it looks Washington State in 2004 on the road and UCLA in 2003. Not something they've seen very often lately.

If they can go undefeated, it would be interesting to see if they get past OSU in terms of rankings, and what they would be like against 'Bama.
